if you value your paint id say go get a thick tarp...other than that.....you could allways take a blowdryer and try to melt them before they hit

Since 1987, DO YOU think it has hailed since? I do! I was at school when it happened too. Good thing my car is under a tent. Rarely does it harm the car. They have to be the size of golf *****.

The only two times its hailed in the last two years here, I just happened to be out in my car. No damage to the paint.

The sound of hail hitting your car while sitting inside it has got to be the worst sound I've ever heard! almost made me cry

It probably won't do anything... my car has been hailed on twice (once in school, and once the way home before I could pull over somewhere). The hail was small, about the size of a tic tac. Sounded HORRIBLE, but no damage at all.

What I do is i have a "Storm cover" that I made. A blanket over the hood, trunk, and roof, then I put a car cover over it if it looked like a bad storm. Works...
